they don't get an electrical shock
,◉ Pneumatic Tourniquet:
Answer: cuts off blood circulation to the area
◉ Chemicals can cause?
Answer: burn, irritation, explosion
◉ Immobilizing units used to?

-Class II=clean contaminated (no infection but minor break in sterile
technique and/or GI/GU/Resp tracts are affected) e.g.
appendectomy
, -Class III=contaminated (infection present, gross spillage from GI
tract, major break in sterile technique, and/or entry into GU or
biliary tract when urine or bile is infected) e.g. traumatic wounds
-Class IV= dirty, infected (necrotic and infected) e.g. traumatic
wounds with delayed repair, acute inflammation and purulent
drainage noted during procedure lots of inflammation
◉ When should wound classification be done?
Answer: It needs to be determined at the beginning and end of the
procedure to capture any events that may have occurred that would
affect the wound classification
◉ Anesthesia-
Answer: is an induced state of partial or total loss of sensation,
occurring with or without loss of consciousness
◉ SURGICAL CLASSIFICATIONS
Answer: -ASA P (physical) I: healthy client
-ASA P II: client has mild problems
-ASA P III: client has severe illness
-ASA P IV: life-threatening severe illness
-ASA P V: client is not expected to survive unless surgery occurs
-ASA P VI: client is brain dead; may be an organ donor
